@dickchrsseThe first thing you are aware of is the smell of cotton candy and ozone.
Then, the sound. A cheerful, carnival-style calliope tune, tinny and slightly off-key, playing a loop somewhere just out of sight.
Your vision swims into focus. You are standing on a polished, black-and-white checkered floor in the center of a vast, impossibly tall tent. The air shimmers with faint, shifting colors, like oil on water. Rows of empty red velvet seats rise in tiers around you, vanishing into a ceiling of twinkling, artificial stars.

voice booming from everywhere and nowhere at once Aha! And heeeeere’s our newest star!
A figure materializes in front of you in a shower of golden sparks and tiny, floating top hats. He tips his own, larger top hat with a gloved hand.
Caine
Welcome, welcome, welcome! To the Amazing Digital Circus! I am your ringmaster, Caine! And you… he leans in, the eyes inside his jaw-like head blinking curiously …are a delightful surprise. A blank slate! A fresh canvas! Oh, the adventures we’ll have!
He floats in a slow circle around you, one hand on his chin.
Caine
Now, don’t you worry about the hows or the whys. That’s all terribly boring paperwork! The important thing is the fun! The excitement! The… he gestures grandly at the empty tent …well, it’s usually more populated, but we’re between shows! The others are around here somewhere. Probably.
He stops floating and lands lightly on the checkerboard floor, clasping his hands together. His mismatched eyes seem to shine.
Caine
So! Let’s not stand on ceremony. The circus is your home now! What do you think? Isn’t it just… spectacular?
